Congratulations to the cast of Jekyll & Hyde The Musical! Our first rehearsal is on Monday, August 7 from 7-9 p.m. Please bring a 3-ring binder and a pencil! Without further ado, here's our cast! The production team of Jekyll and Hyde the Musical is excited to kick off Picketwire’s fall production with auditions on August 1st & 2nd from 6:30-8:30 p.m.! We are looking for actors and actresses ages 16 and up. Both new and seasoned performers are welcome. Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society would like to introduce you to our stage manager Annie Twilloil. Annie struggles to keep the production running as best she can while everything falls apart around her. She soon finds herself onstage and discovers her love for the spotlight! Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society would like to introduce you to Dennis. He is doing his best, but this is all very confusing. He often has the feeling that more is happening than he is aware of. He's never out to cause harm, though, and truthfully it's better to be good and taken advantage of than the other way around. His favorite line: "Flammable & corrosive, sir." Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society gives you a look behind the scenes with two members of our run crew for “The Murder At Haversham Manor.” Picketwire Players Presents July Comedy 🎉Cast Announced for The Play That Goes Wrong! Tonight is the night for some comedy! Tickets will be available at the door $10!!
